8/4/08 RAW Part Three: New Tag Team Champs!

RAW Results and Commentary
Kane def. Matt Striker

Segment Eight
Mid-match between Kane and Matt Striker Mrs. Jabandgrapple says “I don’t know about this Adamle reign so far. It’s pretty gimmicky. Does RAW really need gimmicks?” Gotta agree.
While Kane grabs Matt Striker in a chokeslam he gives the former wrestler a wedgie and we see enough cheekage […]

Freddie Prinze, Jr. Joins the WWE

Actor Freddie Prinze, Jr. has joined the WWE’s “creative team” in what must surely be considered a continuation of the WWE’s TV-PG rating all the time initiative.
What this means is anybody’s guess. Here are some things we would like to see:
1. Prinze wrests RAW GM controls away from Mike Adamle.
2. Prinze brings in […]

6/30/08 Monday Night Raw: Anarchy Means No Fighting

Last night’s Monday Night Raw had a pleading message from Shane McMahon, a big time title change, a title rematch, a touching tribute to a local legend, the imposition of martial law, and the overarching theme of anarchy. Why anarchy? Well, what RAW didn’t have was a GM given Mr. McMahon’s “tragic accident”.
As a […]

WWE Draft 2008 Picks #9, #10 and Overall Analysis

WWE Draft 2008
These last two picks and the final match are going to have to be pretty darn great to get me into a good mood. Lucky for me, they are.

Match/Draft Pick #9 and #10
The last match is a 15-man Royal Rumble with 5 representatives from each brand. RAW looks pretty stacked but since pre-match […]

WWE Draft 2008 Picks #6, #7, and #8

WWE Draft 2008
I’m angry and disappointed by the earlier draft pick that separated the recently reunited Matt Hardy from his brother. I was excited about tonight’s draft and now I just want to stop writing altogether. But I’m going to soldier on.
Oh by the way, the Million Dollar Madness password tonight is Night of […]

WWE 2008 Draft Tonight! Our Wish List and Preview

Tonight is the WWE 2008 Draft (see photo of Draft Horses) and it couldn’t have come at a better time. RAW and SmackDown have descended into a long period of stagnation. Every week we get the same matches, the same winners, and the same losers. Things are changing tonight with a special three hour RAW. […]

WWE RAW 6/16: Hacksaw, Hardy, and the Nature Boy

WWE RAW Results 6/16/08

More Millions
Who could the WWE bring out alongside Vince McMahon to make the chairman look smart? Who could they put next to him that makes his delayed dialing synapses look lightning quick? There’s only one person:
Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Duggan is in a tux and so is his 2×4. My IQ has just […]

WWE Monday Night RAW June 2: The Worst

Don’t get me wrong, I actually enjoyed last night’s RAW. However, this month’s community blog post here at b5 media is “The Worst” so I’ll be scouring each match and segment on RAW to determine what was “The Worst”. I’ll also balance it with “The Best”.
Segment winners in italics. At the end of the […]
